  • Pesticide and method of making and using same
    Patent number: 6001772
    Abstract: A weed eradicating substance, and a desalination substance. A method of use includes irrigating the soil with water, prior to planting, to cause the germination of weed seeds, and thereafter applying a desalination agent to increase weed seed germination. An application of the inventive pesticide then causes a much larger number of weeds to be eradicated.
